Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 313 Modern Supernatural 4

"It had a bad ending, so the plot is somewhat plausible." After saying that, Qiao Chu disappeared into the living room.

Just as Murong Bai was about to be completely overwhelmed by the chilling aura.

The ghostly figure surrounding Murong Bai instantly revealed its complete form, and its movements ceased.

Murong Bai sensed the movement, opened his eyes, and saw Qiao Chu in the air. His emotions were in turmoil, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of security in her.

When the ghost saw Qiao Chu floating in the air and sensed the terrifying aura emanating from her, it immediately cowered and said with a smile, "I'm leaving now, you can have this guy."

"Too late, you dare to come to my territory!" Qiao Chu said.

The smile on the ghost's face froze as an invisible force rushed toward it, pulling hard on its body.

"Ah—" Finally, a scream rang out, and its body shattered into countless pieces.

With a flash of fire, the black smoke rising in the air dissipated, and the ghost vanished into nothingness.

Murong Bai could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead. His face was completely pale.

"Thank you!" he said in a hoarse voice.

Qiao Chu floated down to the sofa and sat down, extending her hand to him.

Looking at the pale hand in front of him, Murong Bai was stunned for a moment before placing his hand on it and using it to stand up.

The cool touch on his hands gradually calmed him down.

Qiao Chu asked curiously, "How did you escape when you encountered ghosts before?"

Murong Bai thought of what had happened before: "When I'm lucky, there's more than one ghost that comes. I can escape while they're fighting. As long as it's dawn, I'll be fine."

"What if you're unlucky?" Qiao Chu handed him a glass of water and said.

Murong Bai paused for a moment, took the water glass, took a sip, and then said, "Bad luck, it's just these few times."

"So, because I'm here, not many ghosts are coming after you, and you're actually in more danger," Qiao Chu said.

Murong Bai glanced at her and said, "That's part of the reason, but I was having a lot of bad luck before, but it seems like I'm not so unlucky anymore since you came!"

“Host, that’s true. He’s unlucky, but he always manages to escape danger at the last minute,” Xiao Qi said.

Qiao Chu asked in confusion, "Then how did he die in the original story?"

"This is also related to the original owner of this body. If you hadn't come that night, the original owner would have injured him. He was injured and constantly haunted by ghosts, making life difficult. Gradually, he lost the will to live," Xiao Qi explained.

Qiao Chu nodded slightly and said to Murong Bai, "Get some rest. I don't eat breakfast, so don't bother me in the morning."

After saying that, she floated back into her room.

Murong Bai watched her go inside, his hand gripping the cup tightly.

The next morning, Murong Bai got up early and went out to buy groceries.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table at noon, Qiao Chu was finally satisfied.

Murong Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't say anything.

Qiao Chu looked up at him and noticed the scratches on his palms.

"What happened to your hand?" she asked casually.

Murong Bai glanced at his hand: "I accidentally tripped and fell."

As soon as he stepped outside, his bad luck started again.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chu didn't ask any further questions, as she was aware of his unlucky constitution.

However, the next day, when Murong Bai went to buy groceries, he found Qiao Chu following him.

He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before lowering his voice and asking, "What brings you here?"

Qiao Chu was floating in mid-air, invisible to others. Upon hearing this, she casually said, "Let's go for a walk!"

Murong Bai didn't think much of it and casually asked her, "What do you want to eat today?"

"Buy whatever you think is best, just don't eat the same thing every day."

"Okay!" he agreed with a smile.

Upon arriving at the market, Qiao Chu watched as Murong Bai skillfully selected various vegetables and meats.

She looked around and saw a ghost in the corner, sneaking around and staring at Murong Bai.

"Xiao Qi, Murong Bai's physique is truly amazing!"

"Yes, host."

Qiao Chu looked sharply at the ghost, and seeing her gaze, the ghost turned and ran away in fright.

After wandering around the market, she returned to Murong Bai's side.

"Where did you just go?" Murong Bai asked when he saw her.

He had just picked out a dish when, in the blink of an eye, the ghost had vanished.

Qiao Chu glanced at him and said, "I just wandered around."

"Don't wander off, or you might run into people from a special department. They specialize in catching ghosts!" Murong Bai leaned closer to her and whispered.

Qiao Chu asked casually, "Oh, have you finished shopping?"

"Okay, let's go back!"

Qiao Chu nodded and floated back in the direction she was going, with Murong Bai following behind.

When Murong Bai went to buy groceries later, he saw Qiao Chu following behind him and realized that she must be worried that he would get hurt.

The thought that she actually cared about him and went out with him made him feel a strange mix of emotions, including a bit of happiness.

Qiao Chu: You're overthinking it. I just thought you were injured and couldn't cook properly, so I came out to get some fresh air.

That evening, the human and the ghost had dinner and went for a walk in the neighborhood.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the residential area, I saw several ghosts darting around.

"What's going on?" Murong Bai asked, puzzled. These ghosts seemed to be being chased by something.

Moreover, ghosts usually don't appear at this time; they only come out in the dead of night. The ghosts didn't even react when they saw them, and even ran away faster.

Qiao Chu released her spiritual energy and saw three people walking towards her from a distance. They were carrying peach wood swords, and she also noticed the talismans in their pockets.

"Host, it's people from a special department, here to catch ghosts!" Xiao Qi said.

Qiao Chu is now in the public eye, wearing a modern red dress.

She moved her fingers, concealing the ghostly aura emanating from her.

“You seem a little different now!” Murong Bai turned to look at her and said sharply.

Qiao Chu asked knowingly, "How are they different?"

"The chilling aura around you is gone," Murong Bai said in surprise, sensing it.

Qiao Chu didn't answer him. She looked at the three people walking towards her, then walked straight ahead without looking to the side.

Murong Bai followed her, and just as he was about to continue speaking, Qiao Chu interrupted him: "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, he had no choice but to remain silent. As the two groups passed each other, the man leading the three glanced at Qiao Chu.

After walking for a while, he looked back again, and his two companions looked at him with suspicion.

"Boss, what's wrong?" one of the younger boys asked.

Another attractive woman asked with a hint of doubt, "Was there something wrong with those two people just now?"

An Mu shook his head and said, "I felt that the woman's aura was a bit strange."

"Boss, I don't feel anything. What about you, Sister Wei?" Xiao Chong scratched his head and asked.

Wei Jing shook her head: "I didn't see anything either."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's go catch those ghosts first!" An Mu said.
